Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 472: Strange Aura
When the second guard saw Long Yu, the guard, and Yao Ran approaching, he greeted them, "Captain Long, Miss Yao."
Hearing this, Long Yu turned and saw Yao Ran behind him. "Why aren’t you getting more rest?" he asked.
Yao Ran yawned and replied, "I woke up when you two were talking, so I figured I might as well take a look."
Her gaze then shifted toward the approaching lights in the distance, and she commented, "This group isn’t ordinary."
Long Yu nodded in agreement. "Anyone who made it here alive—especially in off-road vehicles—is bound to be highly capable."
After he said that, the four of them stood there and watched as the convoy stopped twenty meters away from their barricade. Before long, a man stepped out of the leading off-road vehicle and walked toward them.
Seeing that the four of them were armed, the man stopped four meters away. He first glanced at the planes parked behind Long Yu and the others, then shifted his gaze to them.
"Excuse me, may I see your leader?" he asked politely.
Since the man was being polite, Long Yu responded calmly, "You can talk to me."
The man observed Long Yu for a moment before asking, "Brother, I see you have more than twenty planes, you should have enough supplies and fuel. Can you sell me some gasoline?"
Hearing this, Long Yu lowered his head and whispered, "Ran Ran, what do you think? Do you want to sell gasoline to him?"

Yao Ran glanced at the off-road vehicles parked in the distance and noticed that they, along with the buses and motorcycles, had been modified. Although she wasn’t sure if the glass was bulletproof, she could tell that anyone who owned such vehicles must be wealthy.
After assessing the vehicles, she turned her attention to the man standing in front of them.
Dressed in a black combat suit, the man didn’t look like a civilian but he more resembled a trained soldier. Moreover, the way he moved and spoke was similar to Ma Benshun and the others.
Once she finished observing him, Yao Ran whispered to Long Yu.
"We have more people, but we don’t know how strong they are. I still have plenty of gasoline in my space, so selling some to them isn’t a problem. It’s best to avoid battle in this area since the ground is unstable."
Listening to her reasoning, Long Yu responded, "Alright."
Having made their decision, Long Yu looked at the man and asked, "How much gasoline do you need?" Continue reading stories on novelbuddy
The man’s eyes lit up as he answered, "We need at least 3,000 liters of gasoline, but we will buy as much as you have."
As soon as he said this, the two guards frowned.
Noticing their expressions, the man quickly added, "If you don’t have that much, we will take whatever you can spare."
Since he was being reasonable, Yao Ran didn’t make it difficult for him and asked, "What will you offer in exchange for the gasoline?"
The man replied, "I can’t make that decision. Please wait a moment while I ask my boss."
"Sure," Yao Ran agreed.
After that, the man walked back to the leading off-road vehicle. Yao Ran watched as he spoke with someone in the back row through the opened window. As she tried to read the man’s lips movement, she narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Before long, the man returned carrying a black suitcase.
Opening it, he showed the contents to Yao Ran and said, "Miss, my boss is willing to exchange these for the gasoline. If you also have food and water, we can offer even more."
When the two guards saw the small glass vials containing light blue liquid placed neatly inside the suitcase, their eyes flickered coldly.
Noticing the change in their demeanor, Long Yu asked in a low voice, "Do you know what that liquid is?"
One of the guards nodded, then stepped closer to Long Yu and whispered, "If I’m not mistaken, those liquids must be either an energy replenishing potion or an ability booster potion."
Hearing his explanation, Long Yu frowned and turned to the man. "What are these?"
Thinking that not many people know about the potion, the man calmly explained, "This potion can enhance an ability user’s power level. I noticed that all of you are ability users, so these potions should be very useful to you."
As someone who possessed a massive lake filled with water capable of enhancing abilities and even bringing the dead back to life, Yao Ran had little interest in the potion.
However, seeing the change in the two guards’ expressions, she thought for a moment and said, "I can give you half of what you’re asking for."
The man frowned, but after a brief pause, he said, "Deal."
Yao Ran nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand, and three oil drums appeared in front of her. "Here are 1,500 liters of gasoline. You can take them after handing over the potions."
The man nodded, passed the black suitcase to Long Yu, and then motioned to the people waiting in the off-road vehicles. At his signal, several people stepped out of the vehicles and approached them.
As they came closer, the man ordered, "Take them away."
Following his command, the men silently carried the oil drums away.
Watching them lift the heavy drums with ease, Yao Ran’s eyes flickered. ’Three power-enhancing ability users.’
She then turned her gaze back to the man and thought, ’This man should also be an ability user. But why does his aura have such a strange color?’
While she was deep in thought, the man nodded at them and said, "Thank you for your help."
With those parting words, he returned to the off-road vehicle, and the convoy drove away.
After they left, Yao Ran looked at the two guards and asked, "Do you guys recognize these potions?"
One of the guards nodded and replied, "Based on what that man just said, it should be an ability enhancing potion."
